despite leonard cohen's protests to the contrary, come february 1, 2008 at least one sister of mercy--norma giannini, to be specific--just may be departed & gone.  gone up the river that is, possibly for as long as 20 years total after pleading nolo to two counts of indecent behavior with a minor, charges dating back to the 60s when sister norma was at the helm of st patricks school in milwaukee, il.

seems sister principal (and whatta pal she was) accrued mad interest in two young male members of the student body who now claim to be victims of her dastardly "in vestment" scheme, ultimately requiring them to make 160 deposits in her behalf.   

now 79, the boinging nun apparently took her cue from father noah 'hardstep' rivers (as someone else):  'might as well do the crime if you can't do the time--cuz you're too old'

likely as it is they have even less money than i do,  i'm considering filing suit against the orders who taught at my schools..  clearly i didn't receive the education those two guys did. 

hell, i'm so naive until now it never occurred to me there might be another reason nuns always seemed to be carrying rulers.
